1,500 people are actually running for the highest position in the world. And some of them are bringing a whole new brand of crazy… Becoming a candidate isn’t that difficult. You just have to fill out a form. Be 35-years-old. And be a natural-born citizen that has lived in the States for at least 14 years.

Who the hell comes up with these numbers? While I’m not going to list all 1,500 candidates here, I am going to provide you with some of the greatest crazies that are throwing their hat(s) into the ring this year. Enjoy.

1. Matthew Tyler

Tough thing is, Tyler is 31. You have to be 35 to run for President and Tyler is hoping that President Obama will reverse the law on that.

“We elected an African-American so I thought it was time to have the first underage candidate,” he said.

Yeah, because that’s the same. He also said he is a “Renaissance man” and has given himself a PhD., M.D. and J.D. Oh, and that his mind works like a computer.

He also supports full-service gas stations. So there’s that.

2. Santa

This man changed his name to “Santa”. Legally. So if you want Santa Roy Clark as your Commander in Chief, then write in his name come Election Day. He was born on Chistmas and said that he changed his first name to Santa last September because he “wanted to have the Christmas spirit all the time.”

3. Andrew Basiago

“I was forced to overcome personal limitations coping with new, dangerous, and experimental activities,” Basiago said. “At the same time, I was given an understanding of the trajectory of secret technical development by the US government.”

4. Darwin Misha Reedy

Reedy is currently unemployed but wants to make bodycams mandatory for police officers. Oh, and she also auditioned on “American Idol” and “The X Factor”. And she feels that has prepped her for the presidential stage.

“I learned to be more assertive, and got experience talking before large groups,” she said. “Plus, I can accept criticism.”

7. John McAfee

From the horse’s mouth: “This opportunity to enter a clown show dressed as and acting like the people who are actually suffering in this country. Trust me, I’ll have no problem whatsoever winning this election.”

But he goes on: “When I travel, I’m constantly stopped by people asking for photos. I’m not tooting my own horn, but I have the ability to reach the people. They will listen because I have a checkered background and I may say something interesting.”

So selfies with strangers on the resume is a good thing? Updating mine now…
